Well, the exact wording is in a little box on most of the detachments.
It says:
"Notes: Any unit that is part of the detachment can be designated as the
detachment's HQ subject to the detachment's chain of command."

I don't think they wanted to put "upgrade to HQ but only if this unit is
at the top of the chain of command, max one per detachment... +25" after
every main force entry. It's pretty clear that you pick your forces
first, then select one of the units you're allowed under the main force
limits and give it a 25 point promotion. The list certainly doesn't
allow an extra unit to be purchased in excess of these limits to
fulfill the role of HQ.
